SO I LOOKED IT UP, NOT KNOWING EXACTLY THE JARGON USED "TIRE SEPARATION IS ONE OF THE MOST…”

“I BOUGHT A SET OF 4 DOUGLAS ALL-SEASON 215/65R16 98T SL TIRES AT WALMART. AFTER LESS THAN 4 MONTHS/600 MILES OF USE, 3 OF THE TIRES WERE DIAGNOSED AS SEPARATING INSIDE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES. THESE TIRES MUST BE RECALLED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOUR VEHICLE SHAKES AT A MODERATE SPEED (BETWEEN 25-40MPH) AND YOU HAVE THESE TIRES THEN YOU SHOULD GET THEM REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. IT IS NOT THE BALANCE (I HAD THEM BALANCED TWICE) OR THE ALIGNMENT, IT IS A DEFECT IN THESE PARTICULAR TIRES.”
